The Le Sueur SWCD, who acts as County Ditch Inspectors, partnered with County GIS Deptarment to accomplish the inventory and inspection of Chapter 103E drainage ditches. The project help create a ditch database for approximately 250 miles of County Ditches. Ditch inspection plans were created from the gathered inventory data and created by the SWCD to be utilized by the Drainage Inspectors and Drainage Authority that identify high priority sites for water quality.
